After being placed in its barrier MUKHABARAT (IRE) (P Dobbs) became fractious, rearing up. Whilst stall handlers were attempting to settle that horse, SKY JOCKEY (GB) (R. Mullen) broke through its barrier and galloped a short distance. After returning to the start both SKY JOCKEY (GB) and MUKHABARAT (IRE) underwent a veterinary examination and both horses passed fit to take their places in the field. After SKY JOCKEY (GB) had been re-loaded and MUKHABARAT (IRE) was being led to its barrier, other horses had become unsettled and triggered the release of the barriers resulting in a false start.
